The motivation is we read many > topics as list at one time, and sometimes we fail to recognize that one or > two topics' names have been changed or deprecated, and Flink Kafka connector > doesn't show the error. > My proposed change would be either to throw RuntimeException or to use > LOG.error(topic + "doesn't have any partition") if partitionsForTopic is null > at this function. > https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/master/flink-connectors/flink-connector-kafka-0.9/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/streaming/connectors/kafka/FlinkKafkaConsumer09.java#L208 > Any suggestion is welcome. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
